Be confident in your purchase. When looking for an authentic NHL Adidas jersey, look at the stitching on the collar.

1. The stitching should run underneath the lettering/sizing on the collar tag, not through it. If the seller doesn't include up-close images of the collar, be cautious.

2. Check the fight strap. It should be sizable and well stitched. Beware of flimsy or small patches. If the seller doesn't show the fight strap, be cautious.

3. Check the tags. The NHL tag should reflect holographic and read NHL/LNH depending on the angle. If the seller doesn't show the reflective tag, be cautious.

4. If the seller's photos seem to intentionally exclude identifying details, its quite likely you're dealing with a counterfeit.
